Recently, I shot portraits of the captains and several players on the 2010 K-State football team for posters and feature stories in upcoming game day programs. We spent eight hours on the field at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. The heat index was 115 degrees. The student-athletes held up much better than me. My assistant had to keep bringing me Gatorade and a towel soaked in cold water to wrap around my head so I could finish the photo shoot.
